From the description: "I made this video today and in adding the link to the sheet music Goggled [sic] the arranger [of this piece] Hiroyuki Tanaka and was happy to discover he too has a video playing this piece to his baby."

So he does. In fact, several.

What a wonderful video to see first thing on a bitterly cold Sunday morning.

Very sweet lawrencium. That put a smile on my face.

Awesome. Here's betting she grows up to be a fantastic piano player.

And/or mathematician.

Yeah.

Lovely! Though I must confess I was waiting for a big finale where the baby concluded the piece herself.

Ahhhhh I love her curious little hands! What a lovely way to get in some good snuggle time and work to instill a love of music in your child. Great find.

I hope this little apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. So beautiful.

I'm impressed she didn't start banging on the piano. Give her a couple of months and it'll be all she does.

Crazy adorable. It's amazing how early the instinct to imitate kicks in.

Amazing, awesome, just what I needed, made me smile out loud. Thanks to you, lawrencium, for this wonderful post.

I like how the lesson she takes in mimicing this is, "Ok...so, spreading your fingers looks pretty important."

I opened this tab while watching Spooks (MI5) in another tab; am i going mad or is the background music starting around here the same or similar?
